    Custom Metal Home
    Specialty Contractors in Chicago
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2014
    “I hired these guys to make a couple stainless bathroom counters for my bar. From beginning to end everything was great. They came out and measured the job themselves. They made sure all of the fixtures I order would fit in the custom counter tops and they delivered on time. I would recommend these guys for any stainless work you need done.”
    PETERS WOOD REFINISHING
    Specialty Contractors in Chicago
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 14, 2013
    “Peters Wood Refinishing stripped and refinished all of the painted woodwork - doors, windows, trim, crown molding, baseboards, staircase, banister - in our 1883 home. They also milled some trim to replace damaged and missing trim. Even though the trim in our house is not all the same kind of wood, they made sure the color of the stain matches throughout. They found matching replacements for some missing and broken hardware that was original to the house. We are really pleased with their attention to detail and their craftsmanship. They did an incredibly beautiful job!”
    Karp Design Studios
    Specialty Contractors in Chicago
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 10, 2017
    “Ive worked with Kevin Rodgers/Karp Designs many times now, and each experience was terriffic. I initially hired Kevin to tune my home theater with different sound panels, bass traps, etc., but I was so pleased with the job (it sounded amazing after the work was done) that I had the entire theater built out by them in a rock n roll theme. It was so well done that it made the Wall Street Journal Mansion section a few years ago. Ive had several other projects done, and they keep getting better...I highly recommend Kevin and all at Karp Designs.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 28, 2013
    “I first found out about Ragsdale, Inc. through our decorator. She highly recommended them for our indoor project. Our house is almost a hundred years old and I kiddingly told my husband that the walls probably had that many layers of paint. Steve and the expert professionals that work for him such as Rob, safely stripped off the paint down to the original surface. They repaired or replaced areas where needed and did a fantastic job of painting and wallpapering. It looks like a new house. In fact, we liked the work that Steve and his employees did so much that when the interior was finished, we hired them to tackle the outside. That was even more challenging. But, they didn't disappoint. Steve, the owner, was able to give us an idea of what the project would entail, and kept us in the loop as the work progressed. An older home has many surprises, but they knew what they were doing and have dealt with each and every detail very professionally. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants only the best job for their home. You will not be disappointed.”
    D. Jaburek Billiards & Pool Tables
    Specialty Contractors in Chicago
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 18, 2013
    “Dennis was very professional and pleasant to work with. He fixed up an old pool table that I had sitting in my club. He leveled it, put new bumpers on it, new felt and did a new wax job on the slate. And then, upon request, he mailed the ball placement stickers to my address very promptly. I must say, the table turned out very nice and we can finally use it! I highly recommend his services to anyone.”

    “from the initial meeting to completion the project which included floors, painting and plumbing the project could not have gone smoother They coordinated the project smoothly and there were no surprises in timing or the budget While this was a smaller job we felt it was given priority and focus throughout Would highly recommend”
    Interior Artisan, Inc.
    Specialty Contractors in Chicago
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 7, 2015
    “We were so fortunate to find Craig to restore the original entry hardware of our landmark home. Craig is extremely knowledgeable about the inner workings of intricate vintage lock mechanisms and was able to restore the gorgeous brass mortise hardware using salvaged parts he inventories in his shop as well as fashioning parts where needed. They don't make hardware like they used to and Craig was able to allow us to retain the hardware of our historic home which I am sure should last another 50 to 100 years (longer than I will!).”

    “I needed a custom soffit made to go underneath my cabinets that were over an island in my kitchen. David got his measurements, procured some nice cherry and with some joinery made a nice slab to fit under my cabinets and wall to give a nice finished look to my project.”
